Oracle has a post on Reed's 8-day filing, as well as his predictions and endorsements.
In the 12th Citizens for Heitert reports $3,449 in contribs (none from GOP-related committees), $3,998.65 in expenses, $18,063.92 on-hand, $15,000 debt (loan from himself).
Committee to Elect Matthew Browning shows $75 in contribs, $1,247 in expenses, $3,831.00 on-hand, $5,000 debt (loan from himself). This is no GOP 12th Ward committee.
On the Democratic side without a primary, Committee to Elect Jim Pree shows no expenses, donation of $250 from Medler & Roither LLC (attorneys), Pree loaned himself $111.05, and $361.05 on-hand.
Sheriff Jim Murphy's 12th Ward Regular Democratic Organization reported $3,839.09 on-hand in Jan. report.
That Oracle post mentions "backrolling." Is that even legal in Missouri?

Posted by bybyreed on Mon., Mar 5, 2007 at 9:33 PMIsn't backrolling connected to the Rolfing cult? I am pretty sure we have something on the books against that.
Posted by Howard on Mon., Mar 5, 2007 at 10:14 PMBackrolling is a way to paint dry wood. You spray the paint on and then take a thick lambswool roller and go over the top to make sure that the paint penetrates all of the little cracks.
But nobody did that to Reed. What the headline should have said (and does now) is "bankrolling."
